The Operational Nightmares That Don't Exist in Web2

Working in Web3 means dealing with operational challenges that traditional businesses never face. I’m curious how everyone here handles these uniquely crypto problems:

The token question: Launch one and every decision becomes “governance.” Don’t launch one and contributors wonder why they’re not getting tokens like everywhere else.

Decentralized decisions, centralized blame: Community votes on everything, but when things go wrong, someone still has to take responsibility. How do you balance “the DAO decided” with actual accountability?

Truly global teams: Builders Guild members from Singapore to São Paulo. Finding overlapping hours? Good luck. Everything’s urgent but coordination is nearly impossible.

Always-on exhaustion: Markets don’t close, Discord doesn’t sleep, governance doesn’t pause. The Operators Guild knows this reality—but how do you prevent burnout when everything is 24/7?

Trust in a trustless ecosystem: Between rugpulls and sophisticated scams, how do you vet partners, vendors, or even team members? Due diligence becomes a full-time job.

What other Web3-specific operational nightmares are you dealing with? Treasury management with volatile assets? Community expectations during market downturns? Security overhead for every decision?

Genuinely curious how different guilds are handling these challenges!
